Mast Reforestation

What makes Silvaseed Nursery's seed extractory unique? Well, many things, but for starters, the buildings were designed and built around the extractor machines, not the other way around.

Pictured here is Tammy, Nursery Operations Specialist, unloading bushels of cones onto trays on the cone “hopper”. These cones are rolled into the heated kiln, which opens the cones up so the seed is accessible.

As seen in the photo from the 1950s, not much has changed at the cone elevator. As the saying goes, “why fix what ain't broken?”

Silvaseed continues to be the largest conifer seed extractor in the West, protecting the genetic diversity of our forests.
